Made by one of Austria’s oldest estates and shaped by biodynamic farming, it combines clarity, tension, and deep sense of place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the glass, it shows a clear golden hue. The nose opens with ripe stone fruit, citrus zest, and a subtle herbal spice, all framed by a distinct mineral edge.\n\nOn the palate, the wine is taut and focused, with lively acidity, pronounced minerality, and a long, saline finish. It has the structure and balance to age beautifully, gaining extra depth and complexity over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe grapes come from Vom Stein, a vineyard defined by poor primary rock soils with a high proportion of gneiss and mica schist. These conditions naturally limit vigor and contribute to the wine’s sharp mineral backbone and refined acidity.\n\nThe fruit was selectively harvested by hand and fermented spontaneously with natural yeasts. Aging took place in large, old oak casks, allowing the wine to develop texture and complexity without overshadowing the purity of the site.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis Riesling pairs especially well with roasted pike perch, char, or shellfish, and it also works nicely with lightly spicy Asian dishes or mature hard cheeses. Serve at 10–12°C, and decanting is generally not necessary, though a short aeration can help it open up if served young.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNikolaihof in the Wachau is among Austria’s oldest wineries and has worked according to biodynamic principles for decades. The estate is widely regarded as a benchmark producer in the region, known for wines of authenticity, precision, and aging potential. Its long history and careful craftsmanship have earned it a strong reputation both at home and internationally.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bottle Hero","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54256248226129,"sku":"FFWS-2433","price":65.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/0614\/9969\/files\/14_vom_Stein_Nikolaihof.jpg?v=1783463147","url":"https:\/\/bottlehero.com\/products\/2014-vom-stein-riesling-smaragd-trocken-nikolaihof-wachau-075l","provider":"Bottle Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
